Saint Louis University Meteorology Degree Overview

Saint Louis University's undergraduate degree in meteorology is more than just the study of weather. You'll apply principles of physics and chemistry to discover what makes our atmosphere work, use math to arrive at predictions and delve into the important issues of ozone depletion and global warming.

You will also observe at the National Weather Service forecast office near the University and may have the opportunity to intern there or at one of St. Louis's four commercial television stations that feature weather reports.

What You'll Learn in SLU's Meteorology Degree Program

Undergraduate students in SLU's meteorology program choose to pursue either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree.
